LEBANON, Ohio — A competency hearing for former NBA player Kirk Snyder has been delayed after the judge Ohio was told Snyder is being uncooperative.

A doctor assigned to evaluate Snyder told Warren County Common Pleas Judge Neal Bronson on Friday that Snyder isn't cooperating. The doctor recommended that the 25-year-old be moved to a behavioral center for further evaluation. Snyder has been charged with aggravated burglary, assault and felonious assault following a March break-in at a neighbor's home.

Snyder's attorney has filed documents saying Snyder isn't competent to stand trial and is not guilty by reason of insanity.

Snyder played for the Jazz, the Hornets, the Rockets and the Timberwolves before spending last season playing in China.
